I think part of the problem with Eau Claire is architectural. Pre-COVID I worked just a few blocks away from it and somehow the entire thing inside/out feel uncomfortable.
I’m not sure how exactly they pulled it off but it seems every square foot of the property screams “keep moving, don’t spend time here, no stopping, anytime.”
From the outside there’s really nothing inviting about the building on any side of it, and then once your inside it somehow feels claustrophobic, even standing under the skylights feels somehow cramped.
The lack of businesses doesn’t help… but the design of the building seems about as a warm and vibrant as a Saskatchewan airport.
